Sport: Whiz Kids

The galleries were even more frantic than usual, as the college
basketball season drew toward its close this week. This year, for the
first time in the game's history, there is a real national championship
at stake. In former years every section of the U.S. touted its pet
team, prayed for a bid to the National Collegiate A.A. play-offs or the
National Invitation Tournament at Madison Square Garden. This year the
winners of these two events will meet in an April play-off in the
Garden, for the benefit of the Red Cross.
